The blessing of rain has turned the whole place into a green paradise. The giraffes are having a ball. So many of them all around the camp and beyond.

Full marks to our Ministry of Environment and Forestry that is is developing policy and legislation for comprehensive solid waste management in Kenya.

This is a 4 January Request for Public Comments that requests the views of organisations and individuals.

As you know, Karura Forest has been in the forefront of setting waste management policy in one of Kenya’s most popular public spaces with our Plastics Ban and the recent You Bring It In, You Take It Out policy.

The announcement points to three documents to guide the discussion:

· National Sustainable Waste Management Bill
· National Sustainable Waste Management Policy
· E-waste Strategy

The documents can be downloaded from the Ministry’s website . However, the E-waste Strategy was not yet available on 7 January.

They are tricky to find navigating through the ministry site, so here are the two links to get you directly to the PDFs:

The National Sustainable Waste Management Bill, 2018

Waste Policy Discussion Draft:

If you would like to have your comments consolidated that those of FKF, please send them to before 17 January 2019.

Of course, you may also send your comments directly to the Principal Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, at
